The present invention relates to signaling and has particular reterenoe to new and useful improvements in direction indicators for motor Yehicl'es and the like.

The primary object of our invention is to provide a novel and cheaply constructed direction indica; which may be readily ill)" plied to any of the existing type ol' motor vehicles without structurally altering the latter.

Another ohiectof our vide a direc on ind' ention is to ore-- of the (his ti scribed which a" upon the hood iaee. t

resulting proved directioi contain illuinina Other objects 'i a-crapteu use at nigl t. .-tages to he norived from the use of our Llil'ileillvtl indicator Will appear from the following detailed description and the claim, taken with aninspeetion of the accompanying drawin in which Figure 1 Ward end or improved 1 to: and

Fig. is a sideelevational View of same. parts being shown in sees on.

Referring in re partieula to the drawing, wherein similar characters o1 reference designate like and corresponding parts throughout the various views, 10 designates the engine hood of a standard type of motor vehicle, 11 the dash, and 12 the radiator all being (it the conventional type.

The direction ll](llC lt01 Of our invention includes an indicating arm 13 made in the form of an arrow, said arm heing preferably transparent and provided with interim-1y located light source 1 1-. The arm l3 is mounted ntern ediately its length ros a irs'oeetive vi w of the foror i e l vehicle showing icator applied there- Speciflcation of Letters .2 about.

Serial No. 119,876.

tatahly upon standard 15, a Wheel 16 being movable with said arm. 5 i

it lug 17 is formed integrally with the wheel 16, a cable 18 passing around said wheel and through the lug, the cable being knotted on both sides of the lug as indicated at 19 in 1. The parallel portions of the cable extend longitudinally along the hood and pass through openings 20 in the dash ll parallel p0, ions of the cable being formed with knots to illllll} movement throng l the dash swinging the indicator arni. are pro- 'i'ided on the rahle at the of the dash, in said cable being trained over a pulley 23 mounted on a hearing bracket 2% said bearit ms 26 to the dash 11. in use when. the driver desiresto indicate 75 nis intended.

o f the :;,ho :11 neetion ith thrv aceoinp is thou mailer tion a l he had, and w have and scribed the device as embodying a specino structure, We desire that it he understood that such changes may he made in said structure as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

llavin thus fully described our inven tion, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

In a dire-etion indicator ror antonioh' the eonihination with. a base member ad ed to be positioned on the hood of he a I mobile the fr thereo Wheel mounted on a vertical axis on said base, an v indicator arni carried by said Wheel, a

bracket secured to the rear side of the dash of said automobile, a pulley mounted on a vertical axis on said bracket, an endless cable trained over the Wheel and pulley and extending through spaced apertures in the dash, means for connecting said cables to the Wheel, handgrips on said cables between the dash and pulley for actuating the same; 11 and stops on said cable adjacent the front of the'dash for limiting the movement of the cable in given directions.

In testimony whereof, We affix our signatures hereto. v
